I had a similar loss of MSTS with my AMD card after AMD upgraded to the current software.
Has anyone tried installing the old drivers, or do they still run under WIN 10? I had MSTS running fine...

Congratulations, Paul.

Conn River is a great route - runs beautifully in Open Rails.
(Since my video driver for my AMD video card got upgraded with Win 10, I can't run MSTS any more.)

Sid.

My sincere condolences to Otto's family. Such a long time contributor will be sorely missed.

Have you tried looking for your AI train in the "Dispatcher Window" ? It displays a live map showing where all of the consists and trains are. You must check the option "Fast Full-screen Alt-Tab" on...

I do not believe that any updates have been made to the published OR manual since the 1.1 release (- even though the date was changed on the website - check the date on the cover of the Manual). The...

The route "XTracksRef" that is available with the XTracks download has a working A1t27m turntable and a roundhouse included.
It is a handy route to use for testing the new turntable capabilities...

For those who may not have access to the ET Forum, here are the the turntables.dat files for some of the routes with working a1t27turntable.s turntables:

Did you edit the matching .sd file so that it points to the .s file under its new name?

There's also a description of the effects of all of the "view" keys in Section 7.9 of the Manual. ORTS is similar to MSTS, but also has some significant differences and extra features.

I believe that the OP is trying to run a version that he compiled from the source code.
He is correct, you have to enter the command string into the Debug window and set Runactivity as the start...

The message about the "Invalid Path" should be investigated. Has this path ("NS 64D Player.PAT") worked OK in any other activities?
Try opening the path in the "Trackviewer" program included with...

No problem, Charlie. I like to run new activities on the old route in Open Rails.
Cheers,

Somewhat related to the various versions of Marias Pass - I just downloaded the activity "ogo-wf9-011.zip" from the library which is labelled as being for the Marias Pass 5 route - but the route...

I just downloaded and installed the Marcie route - I had somehow missed the earlier announcements.
It is a gem of a route! The installation procedure was perfect, too.
Many thanks to Bob Wirth.

The file srcontut.zip is in the TrainSim library.

Yes, I have also had OR sometimes process the start-up operations within a minute of the player train start-up time differently than MSTS. Moving the AI times outside of the minute before the Player...

I'm running OR Timetable activities on the GTA route (Greater Toronto Area V1.5) and I believe that I have normal signals.
Here is a snap of GO 206 arriving in Georgetown to start the morning run to...

I think the web site host system was being updated today.
Seems OK this evening, but there are some comments that file library may be still under repair.

Hi,
The version of the manual at http://openrails.org/files/Manual.pdf (Feb.10,2015) has the autopilot discussion in Section 7.7 (page 52). A newer version of the manual (Mar.1) should appear there...

What version number of OR are you using? The number appears in the upper right corner of the opening window.
Does everything run OK with the Raildriver inactive? That is, can you run OR in regular...

The current copy of the manual on the site is actually an older version (Jan. 23, 2015). The new versions of the manual will have the release date on the cover page (e.g. release X2860 has...

You are right - it looks like the retainers are now only set by the Shift+] and Shift+[ commands. The current versions only allow for 25%, 50% or 100% of the cars to have their BC set to LP...
